Data center monitoring

Today’s enterprise data centers are being transformed by initiatives such as consolidation, virtualization, and implementation of private clouds and service-oriented architectures. These profound changes make data center monitoring more important than ever, at the same time that they make it more challenging. Conventional network traffic monitoring tools, unfortunately, shine only dim light on the performance of the modern data center. What’s needed is a data center monitoring solution that monitors and analyzes today’s environments and technologies from the perspective that matters most: the impact on real users of applications and services.

Web services. Automatically discover and measure web service calls, intelligently aggregated into business transactions. Monitor the user experience impact of web application frameworks like WebSphere and WebLogic and gain clear visibility into RESTful HTTP services and XML or SOAP payloads.

Network services. Extend the reach of network performance monitoring to assess how initiatives like WAN optimization and desktop virtualization are affecting the experience of enterprise users. Gauge your return on investment in network services technologies from Citrix, Cisco, Riverbed, and more.

Middleware and databases. Unify data center monitoring with single-pane-of-glass visibility into all the middleware and database technologies that power the enterprise applications that drive your business. Benefit from end to end monitoring of SAP, Oracle, Microsoft, IBM, and more – all with the ability to automatically discover and analyze the business transaction context and the user context of the application traffic that transits your networks.

Extend Your Data Center Monitoring from Click to Code

For the ultimate in data center monitoring, pair the Dynatrace DCRUM network traffic monitoring tool with Dynatrace Application Monitoring. Dynatrace application monitoring softwareleverages ultra-lightweight agents to automatically discover and trace transaction execution paths from client through middleware to back-end database calls. Gain 100% visibility not only across application tiers, but deep into the Java, .NET, or PHP application call stacks on each tier. Troubleshooting application performance problems is made dramatically faster and easier as your teams can instantly identify not only the application tier that’s causing the bottleneck but even the troublesome lines of code.
